      Direct Evaluation of the Quark Content of Nucleons from Lattice QCD at the Physical Point 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (2016)
      We evaluate the light, strange, and charm scalar content of the nucleon using one lattice QCD ensemble generated with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to their physical value. We use improved techniques to ...

      Nucleon spin and quark content at the physical point 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Jansen, K.; Wiese, C.; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2016)
      We present results on the spin and quark content of the nucleon using Nf =2 twisted mass cloverimproved fermion simulations with a pion mass close to its physical value. We use recently developed methods to obtain accurate ...

      The quark contents of the nucleon and their implication for dark matter search 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Drach, V.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Koutsou, Giannis; Strelchenko, A.; Vaquero, A. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      We present results concerning the light and strange quark contents of the nucleon using Nf = 2+1+1 flavours of maximally twisted mass fermions. The corresponding σ- Terms are casting light on the origin of the nucleon mass ...
